Britain ‘turning its back’ on lone kids
Charities hit out at lack of figures on taking in refugees
CHILDREN’S charities accused the government yesterday of turning its back on lone child refugees after it refused to say how many would be admitted to Britain under new proposals.
Immigration Minister James Brokenshire said that Britain would provide resources to identify children in Greece and Italy who have family members in this country.
A £10 million fund will also be established to support young refugees in Europe.
